> Isn't that largely what drawterm does?
No, because drawterm needs a CPU server to connect to.
In fact, the new 9P2000 version of drawterm that rsc built
builds from kernel sources directly.
I agree with the sentiment that DAGwyn's proposal isn't
very compelling. With so many alternatives for hosting
or simulating one operating system over another, I don't
see the need for another, its advantages notwithstanding.
Inferno's emu gives a different language and a variety
of new things, but running a Plan 9 simulator in a Unix
window doesn't add nearly as much. Moreover, it requires
a huge (by my standards, anyway) file system to support it:
the kernel is a teeny part of the whole, in great distinction
with Inferno.
